The Wiseman Family held their 15th Biennial Reunion on Saturday, July 22, 2017 in the Community Center in Sudan, when descendants of William Henry Wiseman and Alice Melvina Townsend began assembling around 9:30 a.m.

William Henry Wiseman was the son of John S. Wiseman and Louisa Watkins Wiseman of Belton, Bell County, Texas. William Henry was born in 1843 in Edgefield County, South Carolina and Alice Melvina in 1847 in Itawmaba County, Mississippi. Alice Melvina was the daughter of James Madison Towsend and Frances “Fannie” Bowles Townsend.

These women served a brisket benefit meal Friday evening in the Olton Ag Pavilion, to benefit the Rivera and Marquez family, whose home burned in a fire Saturday, July 29, on Avenue B at Fourth Street in Olton.

Shown, left to right are Christy DeLaCruz, Lauren Casares, Norma Casares, Cassie Guerrero and Connie Guerrero.

The event was sponsored by Dustin and Shawndi Rose and Clay and Melinda Rose.
